Testing the Setup

The following is a sample procedure to assure your setup is working.

These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Be sure the
necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance, refer to “Serial Port
Configuration” on page C-3.

The server should be powered off as a result of the “Service Processor Setup
Checklist” on page C-1.

Call-In:

1. Go to your remote terminal and call-in to your server. Your server should

answer and offer you the Service Processor Main Menu after requesting your
privileged access password.

2. Enter item 2, System Power Control Menu.

3. Enter item 4, Power-On System.

Answer "y" when asked if you wish to continue powering on the system.

4. After the system firmware and operating system have initialized the server, the

login prompt should appear at your remote terminal if you set up seamless
modem transfer (refer to page D-6 for more information). This may take several
minutes. When this occurs, you have successfully called into the Service
Processor.

5. Type

logout

to disconnect from the operating system. The message "No

Carrier" displays on your remote terminal.

6. Call your server again. The operating system should answer and offer you the

login prompt.

If these tests are successful, call-in is working.

7. Login in and command your server to shutdown and power off. (The AIX

command

shutdown -F

will do this.)

8. The message "No Carrier" displays on your remote terminal.

Call-Out:

During the setup, you entered your phone number for the Pager (on page 4-19) and
Customer Voice (on page 4-20) phone numbers. These numbers are used for this
test.

1. Your remote terminal should be disconnected as a result of the Call-In test.
